I needed to compile snapshot from firmware selector and now by default it has some verbose mode enabled, how to disable it?

found some talk

so as i understand i need to change logging level to 7

uci set system.@system[0].cronloglevel='7'
uci commit system
/etc/init.d/cron restart

theres a big confusion since openwrt style expects from 5 to lower less output and busybox style expects 5 as very detailed logging level (up is less)

conloglevel
if you want less messages lower conloglevel to 4 or even less.

cronloglevel
" and 9 or higher will only log error messages."

from:

in my router /etc/config/system (only relevant part):

        option conloglevel '4'
        option cronloglevel '9'

Or just remove or comment out the cronloglevel entry in /etc/config/system.
